Chapter 378
Liam used the recording as his trump card, and the police found the recording in the mailbox he provided.
The recording was very clear. Liam angrily questioned Julie for her reason behind poisoning Natalie's medicine while she cried and explained that it was an impulsive decision. She lost her mind because she was too in love with Liam. The content of the recording completely corresponded to his story.
However, Paige still didn't believe that Liam was oblivious about it the whole time.
He must have known Julie's plan to poison Natalie since the beginning, but he did not stop her and allowed her to do all this. After all, if Natalie was dead, he could inherit everything related to the company.
Liam had been managing the company for so many years, and he was a cunning man.
He was now at the lowest point of his life, so he probably wanted to put all the blame on Julie.
Therefore, Paige firmly believed that he must have helped to fulfill Julie's plan to murder Natalie. Paige would not let her mother die a miserable death. She would not stop until the truth was revealed!
However, evidence was important. Before legally pursuing Liam, Julie, and Paxton, she had to find evidence to prove herself.
It was already dawn, and Liam didn't say anything more after telling his side of the story.
The police asked him to sign paperwork and seal his thumbprint for their interrogation records of him,
while Joseph left the police station with Paige in his arms.
Bobby opened the car door, and they got in.
Paige leaned into Joseph's embrace and frowned. She did not believe that there was no evidence at all.
She carefully recalled everything that had happened to her mother. Sure enough, in the beginning, Julie and Liam had drugged her medicine to poison her slowly. Later, she escaped death by not eating the medicine after taking Paige abroad.
When they came back, she began to eat the medicine again. Thus, her body grew weaker and weaker.
She remembered that her mother was sent to the hospital after fainting and falling down a flight of stairs. According to Liam, the real cause of Natalie's death was from Julie and Paxton poisoning her IV drip at the hospital.
These two b*stards had already plotted Natalie's death by feeding her poison that took effect slowly. Since that was the case, why did they bother to risk themselves to poison her again at the hospital?
There must be a reason!
Paige told Joseph her doubts that Natalie was sent to the hospital after she fell ill at home, then she passed away the next day.
Joseph frowned and thought for a moment.
"There should be some clues in your house. Let's go check it out!"
"My mother has been gone for so long. Any clues should have been destroyed, right?"
She said as she patted her head. "There is a CCTV. We can go and look through the CCTV footage!"
He nodded and said, "That's what I meant, but it's not necessarily possible. After all, if this has something to do with your father, he won't leave the footage behind. He must've deleted it!"
"Then, is there anything we can do?"
"Let's go and take a look first."
Bobby drove them to Paige's house, and they went straight to the computer that stored the CCTV footage.
He turned on the computer and found that the ten days of footage before and after Natalie's accident had been deleted.
"What should we do now?" She was sure that there was something wrong the situation, or else the specific footages wouldn't have been deleted.
"Don't worry, we still have hope! I'II look for people to restore it!"
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and dialled James's number. "Help me arrange for a few computer experts to come over immediately. I want to recover data!"
As for Paxton, he didn't take the police seriously at all. He was backed up by Savannah, the eldest daughter of Dawson family, who was also the wife of Saunders family. With the power of the Dawson and Saunders family, no one dared to hurt him.
After being taken to the police station, he was still very arrogant. "Let me tell you, I didn't do anything bad. Let me go immediately, or don't blame me for the consequences!"
The police officers were not surprised and said, "Please explain why you broke into someone's house!"
"I didn't break in without reason. I knew that someone was illegally held hostage in there, so I took my men there to save lives," He said righteously. "By the way, what happened to the injured person?"
The police ignored his question and continued to ask, "This is not what you should be concerned about! Tell me what happened to you honestly!"
"How can I not care? The injured woman is my woman. She is carrying my child. As the child's father, I should be informed of the situation!" He replied.
"Your woman? Your child? So this woman is cheating? She hooked up with you and Liam at the same time?" The police officer sneered.
"What hook-up? Don't describe it so awfully. It's not illegal to date when you're not married, right?" Paxton was not afraid at all. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"What law says that a woman can't be with two men at the same time?"
"There is indeed no such law, but people with ethics know that it's immoral to do so."
"Don't talk about morality with me. I didn't break the law. Let me out! I know your leaders. If you dare mess with me, you'll lose your jobs!"
Looking at Paxton's fearless behavior, the two policemen who were interrogating him could not ask any more questions. He had been there dozens of times, and there was no doubt that he had people to back him up. Now it was up to the higher-ups.
The police didn't ask further questions, and Paxton hummed a tune arrogantly. Later, the door was pushed open, and two people in plainclothes came in. "Did he confess?"
Without waiting for the interrogator's reply, Paxton shouted, "I didn't do anything wrong. What should I
confess? Let me out now!"
"Well, aren't you arrogant?" One of the two men who came in laughed and said, "Declan has honestly confessed when he came in. Who do you think you are? Do you think you are comparable to the uncle of the eldest daughter of the Saunders family?"
Upon hearing this, Paxton fell silent. He was merely the younger brother of Savannah's servant. How could he be comparable with Declan?
The man in plainclothes sneered. "Listen, we all know what you have done before. You can ignore the fighting and killing stories, but you have to confess about how Natalie died!"
Paxton was shocked when he heard this. He had always kept Natalie's situation a secret.
Besides, she had been dead for such a long time. Why did the police suddenly ask him about it?
Was it a trap?
He kept calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. Who's Natalie? I don't know this person at all!"
"Pretending to be confused? Paxton, I'm telling you, now is not the time to play around. You should confess about how you poisoned her medicine and IV drip with Julie!"
Their words made his heart skip a beat. No way. How did they find out what he and Julie had done?
They kept it a secret back then.
